1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Food texture, along with taste and odour, is an important factor in determining food flavour. However, the physiological properties of oral texture perception require greater examination and definition. Here we explore recent trends and perspectives related to mouthfeel and its relevance in food flavour perception, with an emphasis on the biophysical point of view and methods. We propose that atomic force microscopy, combined with other biophysical techniques and more traditional food science approaches, offers a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms of mouthfeel at cellular and molecular levels. With this knowledge, food composition could be modified to develop healthier products by limiting salt, sugar, fat and calories while maintaining sensory qualities and consumer acceptance.
